“I am a man of passion. You don’t know what that means, unless you are my kind. At the orphanage where they put me just before Garfield was assassinated, there were some older boys that caught a horse in a slopping field. They got the horse up against a fence down at the bottom of the field and tied him up.An old horse.They put kerosene on his tail and lit it and cut the rope and away went that old horse busting through fences to get away from the fire. But the fire went with him.That horse, that’s me. That’s the man of passion. The fire chases you and catches you and then it’s in your blood. And after that, it’s the fire that has control, not the man.Blame the fire of passion for what Albert H. Fish has done…"Writing Credit - Tyler Bell.

You might think of hell as a hot place. That’s how it's depicted, in old films and cartoons. A sweltering abyss full of ghouls thrusting pitchforks, and inflicting bloody debauchery upon the recently damned. I'm not a believer in such places... but if i were... I'd be more inclined to go with the Dante’s Inferno depiction. Where hell is a cold, forgotten place. The darkest point of the universe, furthest from God, where sinners are trapped unmoving beneath the ice, and Satan mindlessly flaps his wings, trying to escape. But then...there are Devils among us. Devils who become immortalized in movies, books, television shows and podcasts... . The types contained within the Dark Topic Catalogue. The types who raise the bar of how evil and savage we can be... who inspire future psychopaths to pursue their own dark dreams and satiate their enormous appetites. The worst of which, I can almost believe were sent from an evil place … maybe spawned from a cold corner of the cosmos…, a spore that crashed here via asteroid eons ago…… eventually morphing into something unfathomable…. And burping up from the bottom of the ocean to take the form of something hideous …like an Angler Fish…. Or worse …Like an Albert Fish.Writing Credit - Tyler Bell of the Westside Fairytales Podcast. www.westsidefairytales.comResearch Credit - Doctor Barak  Support Dark Topic by visiting www.patreon.com/darktopicpod and gain access to additional content.Sources:Robert Keller, Confessions of a Cannibal, 2015 John Borowski, Albert Fish in his own words, Waterfront Publications 2012https://www.nytimes.com/1936/01/17/archives/slayer-of-budd-girl-dies-in-electric-chair-albert-fish-65-pays.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1930/09/05/archives/man-67-seized-here-as-budd-kidnapper-wife-accuses-caretaker-as.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1935/03/26/archives/fish-is-sentenced-admits-new-crimes-death-in-electric-chair-fixed.html https://local.theonion.com/[object%20Object]https://www.nytimes.com/1934/12/15/archives/exwife-unconcerned.html https://www.nytimes.com/1934/12/15/archives/police-try-to-link-budd-girls-slayer-to-3-other-crimes-fish.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1934/12/15/archives/exwife-unconcerned.htmlStay ParanoidSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dark-topic/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsOur Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code DARKTOPIC for a great deal: https://mood.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/darktopic* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code DARKTOPIC20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dark-topic2753/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
